Supply & Demand Curves
Description
Visualizes how supply and demand curves interact to form a market equilibrium. Demonstrates the effects of a demand shift (rightward) and a supply shift (leftward) on equilibrium price and quantity, building core microeconomics intuition.

Phases
| # | Phase Name | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Axes Setup | 5s | Draw coordinate axes with Price (P) on Y-axis and Quantity (Q) on X-axis |
| 2 | Draw Curves | 8s | Animate blue demand curve (downward slope) and green supply curve (upward slope) appearing |
| 3 | Equilibrium | 7s | Highlight intersection point, draw dashed lines to axes, label P* and Q* |
| 4 | Demand Shift | 10s | Demand curve shifts right (new blue dashed), new equilibrium forms at higher P and Q |
| 5 | Supply Shift | 10s | Supply curve shifts left (new green dashed), equilibrium moves to higher P, lower Q |
| 6 | Summary | 5s | Summary text showing both shift effects |
